The Argus and Patriot took Senator
Morrill, to task for refusing to consider
any measure to reduce the tariff. The
FREE PRESS mildly suggested that the
Senate could not originate tariff legisla-
ton, and that as the House had sent no
bills for the reduction Of the tariff to the
Senate, the latter body had had no oppor
tunity to consider tariff measures, if it de-
sired. The Argus rejoins as follows;
If our recollection serves US correctly,
there was resolution Introduced into the
Senate, and passed by the votes of every
considering the tariff question, and eX-
pressing want of confidence that any bill
could be presented at that session which
would be likely to pass. In this way the
republicans OF the Senate indicated their
de. rmination not TO consider the tariff
question. and strengthened the opposition
TO its consideration by the House.
The recollection of the Argus does not
serve it quite correctly, we think and if
it did, an expression of the fact that the
democratic House had wasted the time of
the session, till it was too late to take
up tariff reduction with any hope of sue
cess, is one thing, and refusal to consider
the question, is another. After the House
has sent tariff bill to the Senate, it will
be time enough to blame senators for re-
fusing to consider it. The Argus is at
tempting to crawl out of pretty small
hole.

Mr.. O'Brien's Campaign.

Mr.. O'Brien has made decided sensa-
ton but what else he has accomplished
in his campaign in this country does not
appear. His experiences in Canada were
particularly unpleasant, and the expedi-
tious manner in which he came back over
the line, pursued by detective in green
goggles, and with the pistol shots of the
Orange men ringing in his ears, was sug
gestive rather OF a retreat than a triumph
al progress. His treatment in Canada
was shameful, but his most ardent
sympathizers admit that his Cana
success. In this country his refusal to
fraternize with the George McGlynn fac

people, cost him to a considerable extent
the favor of the laboring classes, with
whom Mr.. George and DR.. McGlynn are
very popular. AS good Catholic he could

The Centennial Anniversary

1t is announced that vigorous cam
paign will be inaugurated throughout the
country within the next two mouths, to
secure the financial backing for a ceebra-
ton to be held in Washington in honor of
the centennial anniversary of the adop-
ton of the constitution of the United
States.
The proposed celebration, as our readers
may remember, has already been sane
toned by resolutions.in its favor passed
by the United States. Senate. Congress
also passed resolutions in favor of a cele-
bration of the discovery of America both
of these anniversaries to be held in Wash
ington. Some confusion, however, with
respect to the former celebration
has arisen from the action of a
Philadelphia committee, who wish to
hold celebration in. December next, or
two years previous to the Tooth annver-
sary of the final ratification of the
constitution by the assent of the
last of the thirteen original States,
Rhode Island, which took place May 20,
1889. The proposed Philadelphia celebrF
ton, however is rather of local than Il
national character, and is intended to
commemorate the first adoption of the
constitution, or its first seven articles, by
the Philadelphia convention, which com
pleted its work on the 18th of September,
1857. The main celebration to he held in
Washington will commemorate the
establishment of republican form of
government in the United States under
the constitution, and will date from the
first meeting of Congress under it, ON the
4th of March, 1850. The Senate favored
the holding of the celebration ON or about
the Both of April, 1889, that being the ami
yersary OF the day when Gen. Washing
ton was inaugurated the first president of
the United States.

Agriculture and Chemistry.

The intimate relations between the a.
o. agriculture and the science of chem
try are moe and more recognized in this
country The agricultural experiment
stations established by the federal govern
ment and the legislatures of many States,
have in many cases demonstrated TO the
practical farmer the fact that he cannot
afford to ignore or do without the aid of
the scientist. We are glad to see thai
many popular works on chemistry as r.
lated to agriculture are being published in
this country. The demand for them shows
that the farmer and the chemist ap-
preciate each others work. The chemist
sees that agriculture opens wide field
for profitable and useful research, and tt e
farmer acknowledges that science can te'l
him more about the soil and T. u
than the experience of lifetime
One of the most instructive and leaso
technical of the books which have bee F.,
recently published on the subject of agri-
culture and chemistry, is the work in two
volumes by Prof. Storer of Harvard I'm
versity entitled agriculture in Some
its Relations with Chemistry Prof.Storer
is one of the highest scientific authori-
ties in his department. He is an intensely
practical man and his book is anything
but technical or theoretical treatise. e
realizes that agricultural science is not
merely agricultural chemistry. go is
not enough for scientific agriculture to
know the chemical constituents of the
crop to be raised and to secure in the soil
and the surroundings of plants the pres

vast field of investigation and expert
ment that is concerned with the methods
by which the supply of such constituents
may be assimllated in vegetable
growth" So says a discriminating
reviewer of Prof. Storer's book. This
broad yet practical Interpretation of the
subject is that to which the author priu.
cipally devotes his attention. He treats
Of the general relations of soil and air to
the plant; of the atmosphere as IA source
of plant food of the relations of water to
the soil and its movements in the soil of
tillage and its implements and operations ;
of soils as chemical agents and the action
of manures, phosphate fertilizers, nj
trates, ammonia compounds, other assihl-
liable nitrogen compounds, nitrogenzed
vegetable and animal refuse, carbonic
acid, sea weeds, vegetable mould as ma
nure, and the manure of the farm yard /;
composts, night soil, potassic manures,
rotation of crops, irritation, sewage, the
disposlng of farms, the making of hay as
matter of theory and practice, hay farms,
pasture and almost every topic connect
ed with practical farming.
We wish this instructive book could be
placed in the hands of every Vermont
farmer 1t would greatly aid in
the. work which has been under
taken in this state by the experiment
station, because it would give farmers
clearer and more practical idea of the
relations between chemistry and agricul-
ture and the methods which the chemist
employs in applying these relations and
discovering others Prof Storers work

How to restore WORKOUT land is the
great problem of the eastern farmer, who
has to wrest his living from acres that
have been in constant use for many ger
erations The consular reports published
by the department of agriculture contain
some instructive articles bearing upon
this subject. These reports assert that
the debris of iron furnaces, with one
twentieth part of salt-petle added, make a
fertilizer at Il cost of a little over sll per
ton, which is equal to the best bone ma
nure, One. may get the idea of the ex-
tent to which this fertilizer is employed in
Germany from the statement of Consul
Potter that one concern in Oberhausen
manufactures thirty-three million pounds
of it, and this is by no means the only or
the largest producer Consul Potter is so
enthusiastic over the subject that he
makes the assertion that if this waste in
Pennsylvania and Virginia were utilized
in this manner the barren fields of those
States would yield twenty-five bushels of
wheat to an acre.

About that Jersey picnic. Herr Most
and his compatriots having recovered
from the effects of the hundred kegs of
beer preached on the occasion, are rather
inclined to admit that a mistake must
have occurred omewhere-unavoideb l 7,
of course. They had no intention of in
sulting the United States flag, even if was
upon the person of reporter, and as for
the fight and the shooting of child, such
things will happen now and then in the
best of families, and the anarchist family
is large and of a sanguinary temperament.
Such, practically, are the excuses offered
by the managers of the anarchist picnic
for the redundancy of violent amuse-
ments at Weehawken Heights.

OleOmargarine in Canada.

The Canadians are in an unenviable
frame of mind upon the subject of cleo
margarine. While their own trade and
navigation returns show that not pound
of oleomargarine was imported into Cana
da from the United States under its own
name, the American figures show that
rs ,564 pounds were exported from the
United States into Canada Evidently
some one has been putting oleomargarine
on the provincial market for butter. This
conclusion is farther enforced by the fact
that the Canadian figures show that ,249,-
900 pounds of butter were imported into
Canada from the United States ; but the
American figures declare that 2,l32 ,424
pounds of butter have been exported from
the United States into Canada Putting
two and two together it is impossible to
resist the conclusion that oleomargarine
is entered at the custom house as cleo
margarine and is sold in Canada as butter
This transaction is the more easily ac-
counted for when the fact is taken into
account that Canada allows the importa-
ton of grease free of duty and appa-
rently some $4,000 worth of oleomar-
garine, entered as grease for purposes
of transportation, has been sent into Can
ada during the past year. The Canadians
seem to be unfortunate enough to be at
the mercy of the custom house officials
who cannot tell the difference between
soap grease and oleomargarine.

The New YorkiIf,nCS publishes care
fully prepared statement of the income

lures this year.are nearly 81 no, 600, COO; last
year they We're s2l4, 900. Despite the
Increase of expenditures of S26, 600 the
excess of receipts over last year carried
the surplus up S6.O00,OOO. The few days
remaining of the fiscal year it is estimated
will increase the revenue to 1870, 900 900,
whereas the expenditures will be only

600. The question of tax reduction will
undoubtedly be a prominent one at the

If the New York Nineteenth Ceh,urv
club opens its doors to women, as is Sc
iously contemplated, it will be the first
great organization of the kind in the
country to recognize the fact that in ar,
literature and intellectual society women
are no longer to be considered in any sense
inferior to men, They are well abreast of
the other sex in every department of in
tellectual activity, and--to put it politely
we do not see why men should deprive
themselves any longer of the privilege of
associating themselves intellectually with
superior women.

Much as the English like to send the
turbulent Celts to this country, it grieves
them to the core to lose any of their Eng
lish population by emigration. The Eng
ljsh ne wspapers are lamenting the recent
departure of 67663 British subjects for
this country. The London Times is strong
ly opposed to letting the British surplus
population go on the ground that its place
must be filled by the surplus population of
Germany and Russia, which is likely to be
OF lower class of humanity. In fact, there
is hardly a monarchy on the globe that is
not troubled more or less by the emigra-
ton of its subjects. The population of
the globe is increasingly mobile. Perhaps
the time is coming when it will all be
floating population"

ago. 1t is now in regular communication
with its officers in thirty-s;x States and
territories. The league is non-partisan
and aims to unite all parties in support of
the policy which it advocates That policy
is to protect American labor by maintain

American industrial products against the
competition of foreign labor. The general
officers are; Edward II. Ammidown,
president; Thomas H. Dudley, first vice
president Robert p. Porter, general sec
rotary A. NJ Garland, assistant general
secretary; Chester Grswold, treasurer.
The country is divided into seven general
divisions, with chief of each division.
The New England States and New York
State comprise the northeastern divisi on
of which f. A. Hartshorn, one of the
twenty managers, is acting chief, with
headquarters at Troy
The league offers to the students of
senior classes of all American colleges a
series OF prizes for approved essays on the
advantages of protective tariff to the
labor and industries of the United States,
each essay not to exceed 10000 words, and
to be sent to the office of the league, No.

determined) the envelope to be marked
by word or symbol corresponding with
the signature to the essay. The prizes are
for the best essay, $3.50; for the second
best. 500; for the third best, $50 and for
the o.her essays deemed especially meri-
torious, silver medals will be awarded,
with honorable mention of the names of
the writers in a public notice of the
awards. The league will include the
essar receiving the prize among the an
nual publications of the league The
awards will be made by the following

The Brattleboro RCt0rmer seems to think
that the mention by this paper, of the fact
